About this map

Humboldt National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of the Ruby Mountains in this modern survey of the Elko County backcountry. The landscape is defined by its network of water sources and high peaks, including Green Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn, which feed various drainages like Green Mountain Cr and Pearl Creek. These peaks served as critical landmarks for early travelers and current ranchers alike, with Zaga Ranch and Corta Ranch Trl indicating the continued agricultural utility of the canyon floors.

A intricate system of historical and modern routes crosses the range at Harrison Pass, including the Harrison Pass Rd and segments of the Immigrant trail. For those researching regional history or recreation, the map identifies the Ruby Crest South Trailhead and the Harrison Pass GS, providing a clear view of how land management and transit have evolved around high-mountain passes. Natural water features like Arizona Spring and Pearl Lake remain vital points of interest in this high-desert environment.
